| Description | Until 2020, there was no legal recognition provided to same-sex couples in the Cayman Islands. However, while the constitution stated that the government shall respect "the right of every unmarried and woman of marriageable age freely to marry a person of the opposite sex", it does not define a marriage as such and thus same-sex marriage is not explicitly banned. |
